SpaceX launched another of its mammoth Starship rockets on a test flight Monday, striving to make it halfway around the world while releasing mock satellites like last time.<\/p>\n

Starship \u2014 the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built \u2014 thundered into the evening sky from the southern tip of Texas. The booster peeled away and made a controlled entry into the Gulf of Mexico as planned, with the spacecraft skimming space before descending toward the Indian Ocean. Nothing was being recovered.<\/p>\n
